Dear Readers,

I have DoW for a couple of days now, and the Multyplayer was working from the beginning. Until now.

The fact is, that I can't see games to join anymore. I can't host either...

Please, don't shout that I need to look in the MTL... I have... But I don't know wat is creating the problem.

I can no longer connect to multiplayer games on gamespy, despite the fact that i can see the games and could connect fine yesterday morning and have changed nothing since then.

for the originator of this post try this:

replace your wh40k.module file with the original on disc 1 (play disc) it, worked for me.


Let me know it this helps

this problem happened to me again
so i did what you suggested replaced the wh40k.module file
dunno why but it worked even though both files where identical

Hmmm... Now I can't log onto Gamespy... Getting the same check internet/behind firewall-router error. Wierd- I was doing fine up until today.

It looks like gamespy may be down right now... checking on some things.

this problem kept happened to me so after using a bit of logic i worked out that it has nothing to do with wh40k.module but rather running DOW with -dev command in the shortcut tends to cause the game to screw when searching for games thus why you cant see games.

Fix is simple run DOW normally no -dev and bingo working.
hopes this helps anyone still having this problem

There's nothing "screw" with that, you'll only see games that match certain settings. These include the game version, the sync error checking level and as you found out, the devmode setting. Even if this filter was removed you'd get a sync error as soon as the game started.
